Maynard and Cripps put players out of finals with head knocks, knocking them out cold and ended one's career and their punishment was a Premiership and a Brownlow.

Well done AFL. 

Gutted and angry. All the best Gus.

No worries, Maynard will bring some flowers around again, and all will be ok.

And a bottle of red wine.

I hope Viney runs through Maynards chest when we play them.

The end of Angus' long (AMAZING) letter:

"And so, concludes me career. I have no regrets and a lot of love. My heart will ALWAYS beat true for the red and the blue. Go Dees."

What an elite top shelf gentleman and athlete. Will be missed. Hope the guys can put aside the drama and unideal prep for the season and do it for him. A flag this year would be tough (without him, as just one of the reasons), but would be so sweet. 

Highly recommend the read. 

A letter from Gus (melbournefc.com.au)

In fairness to Gus, he wrote "my career", not, "me career".

I will never forget that as long as I live. I was at the game and surrounded by Pies supporters who looked like they had a total combined IQ of about 10 between them. I couldn’t stand it so left my seat and went and sat downstairs. I refused to talk to my husband for about a week and told him I will never, ever go to a Collingwood game with him ever again. This still makes my blood boil. 
I have not watched one minute of last years GF and never will. It make me feel sick to think that thug has a premiership medal.

I’m the same

wife and their family CFC

week after had to listen to one of them claim there was no way Maynard could have avoided and all the media was nonsense and unfair he was even at tribunal 

never watching a game with them again

Would love to see Gus still involved in the club in some capacity.

With his intelligence, tact and diplomacy I could see him as a future Ambassador or even a CEO.

Gutted. If there wasn't already a special place in hell reserved for that charmless grub Maynard surely there is now. 

I really want to get over the QF incident but I’m finding it extremely difficult (which is silly), it’s affecting family footy watching and taking about footy. Serious post. Is anyone else feeling similar? Again, genuine post

I have just read Angus’s letter Saying goodbye. SWYL shed some tears. He is a Heart and Soul Player that will leave a huge hole within the Club this Season. 
I am also incredibly ANGRY at the INJUSTICE that Followed that night in September. 
I have a Filth Mate who i have known since School days. 
I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO HIM SINCE THAT NIGHT 

That is how much i HATE The Filth. 
 

We must Win FLAGS against these [censored]

For Gus and all of us

Smash the Bastards at every opportunity 

This was a Planned Move executed by our Mortal Enemy….

Guess he's got the better of the deal then, fancy giving up a mate over a game of football who you have known for that long.

I hope they hang his guernsey in the rooms before every game. This guy didn’t want his journey to end, so when at half time they need a pick me up they see it for a reason why to keep pushing.

I feel really flat about this. We love you gussy!

And over half the AFL supporters thought the same, I thought it was crude but they were the rules, but to lose a mate over, well that's your decision.

haha yeah my bad, typo. But I kind of like the old 'me career', although unintended.

I am well aware of the consequences, but my Hatred of the Pies goes back a very long way. 
Victoria Park in the 70’s is something younger fans could never imagine 

Right up there with Ox’s knees. Really heartbroken for myself as a supporter but even more so for Gus as a quality person. Sincerely hope he will be ok going forward.

All power to the Frawley family, their foundation and litigation. The AFL deserve everything coming their way.

I’m with you. Hell will freeze over before I ever watch that despicable team again.

Performative.

The AFL put on a woeful case and then didn't appeal a ridiculously flawed decision. 

AFL dictated Maynard must not be suspended and threatened media with their accreditation if they pushed against it too hard.

They're a despicable organisation, I've had enough of them.

Congratulations on a great career Angus. All the best. No doubt you will carve a significant off field role for yourself in time.

Of Course 

The AFL wanted the Filth at Full Strength on GF day

Ratings Bonanza

The AFL would have made a killing with merchandise online. 
Gill probably gained himself a nice little bonus as he quietly left the chair. 
 

The evidence given was disgraceful, Angus was painted as the guilty party. 
I hope he sues the whole lot of them, long and hard

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
